Vertical Artisans just wanted to share some tips and tricks in staining the Hardscape System with Tru-Tint stains from Walttools. Nathan Giffin breaks down the staining process by the numbers that are really easy to complete.

The Stone Matrix was used to create the stone pattern on the Vertical Decorative Concrete project. Watch how subtle the color transition is while providing a very engaging color contrast with the very nice color flow.

There is also a great tip on using kitty litter during the staining process. The use of Orange-Crete brushes as large faux brushes while diamond blocks are used to add to detailed highlights to the dry stacked stone.

Vertical Artisans offers online training and hands-on classes that illustrate the methods, styles, and techniques of hand-carved vertical decorative concrete along with many other interesting art forms.

The ORANGE- CRETE brushes are what Decorative Concrete professionals have come to rely on with the Orange-Crete brush is its unique “density” or fiber design that we called “Exploded GF Split Fibers”.

This unique engineering and manufacturing process is what makes our brushes the best in the industry.
